5.4.5.2 Adoption Overrides
Device Overrides
Use the Adoption screen to define the configuration of a preferred Virtual Controller, wireless controller, or service platform
resource used for access point adoption. A Virtual Controller can adopt up to 24 access points of the same model. The Virtual
Controller must also share its VLAN to peer access points wishing to adopt to it. The Virtual Controllers IP address (or
hostname), pool and routing level must also be defined and made available to connecting peers.
Adoption is the process an access point uses to discover Virtual Controllers available in the network, pick the most desirable
Virtual Controller, establish an association, obtain its configuration and consider itself provisioned.
At adoption, an access point solicits and receives adoption responses from Virtual Controllers available on the network.
To define an access point’s Virtual Controller configuration or apply an override to an existing parameter:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
3. Select Device Overrides .
4. Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
5. Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
6. Select Adoption .
A screen displays where an access point’s Virtual Controller group, VLAN and network address information can be defined
or overridden for the preferred Virtual Controller resource.
NOTE: A blue override icon (to the left of a parameter) defines the parameter as having
an override applied. To remove an override, go to the Basic Configuration screen’s
Device Overrides field and select Clear Overrides . This will remove all overrides
from the device.
